Incumbent Steve Messina lost his seat on the Benicia Unified School Board to challenger Diane Ferrucci in the recent election.

A week after election day, all precincts and vote-by-mail ballots have been counted for the three seats on the school board. Provisional ballots have not been completed as of Tuesday.

Incumbents Peter Morgan and Rose Switzer were reelected to the board, while Messina was unseated with about 21 percent of the votes.

Messina was first elected into the school board in 2009, but is no stranger to public office. He served on the Benicia City Council for a decade, including eight years as mayor from 1999 to 2007.
